AESTHETICS AND ORDER: Urban Beautification and Development in the Philippines


April 28, 2015 (Tuesday) | PH 207 | 5:30 - 7 pm
THE CONCEPT GUIDE
I.

ABSTRACT
This forum seeks to examine the effects of aesthetics to a citys development.
At the beginning of the 20th Century, the City Beautiful movement sought to
improve the living conditions and civic virtues of the residents of urban areas
through city beautification. It aims to evoke yearnings for an ideal community and
civic loyalty in the citizens, thus establishing a sense of order in the society. As
sanitation, beautification and health conditions of densely populated cities have
become issues of concern, urban beautification has been used to address such
issues. However, it has been witnessed that efforts being undertaken in relation to
urban beautification has been both insufficient and ineffective to address the
problems in a sustainable manner. Aside from the lack of work with regard to urban
beautification, the citizens reactions to aesthetics differ, causing a varied impact on
the order it seeks to establish.
